America's paranoid, nutty militia

Two pieces about the nut based militia movements of America - one at Vox, looking at their history since the 1990's (and pointing out how they re-emerged when it appeared that a black man may become President. What a co-incidence, hey?) The other is from LGF, and you should watch the video of one of the guys now in Oregon and his recreational interest in shooting arrows into effigies of politicians he considers "traitors". Not that he's advocating violence or anything, although he does share with us that he'd like to line up and shoot them all in the back of the head.

The only support in Australia that I've seen for the armed nutters like him currently holed up in the Oregon Wildlife Refuge building: from some in the threads of (you guessed it) Catallaxy Files, which should just be renamed Right Wing Ratbag Central and be done with. (Trump's pretty popular there too because - Muslims.)
